Bicycle Wheel Buckle Truing Gauge

thingiverse

I occasionally need to straighten a warped bicycle wheel. I created this gauge to aid in this endeavor. Print the quantity of parts specified in the file name - "<part>_x4" = print four units off. Secure the wheel horizontally in a bench vise (illustrated). Clamp it by the nut, not the thread on the axle (obviously). Position the gauge against the rim. Coarsely adjust the arms with the collars and finely adjust the arms with the two grub screws on each arm. (Note: The lower white collar is made from PLA and the rest from PETG for no apparent reason. Use your preferred filament.)
